so he is a good fighter and much better than British domestic / european level

The worry is he lacks power to put Martinez under any pressure and he hasnt got any experience in these types of mega fights

if i was to put just one bet on, I'd say a Barker KO victory in 5
Sorry mate but what evidence have you of this? He has never fought anyone in the top 20 at Middleweight so to say he is much better than European Level is a bit early to say.
